In a VS Code project I have HTML files which end in the (proprietary) extension .HML
. How can Live Server in VS Code serve these files as HTML files?
I have seen starball's answer to "Why is VS Code Live Server opening...". It explains how some explicit files without .html
extension can be served by Live Server, but I am after a solution which can serve all .hml
files the same way as Live Server already saves all .html
files.
Since mime type header is apparently the issue, I think you're out of luck unless you feel like forking the software or modifying your extension's installation. The Live Server extension uses the send
npm package to serve static files. send
uses the mime
npm package, which only maps html
, htm
, and shtml
to the text/html
mime type.
I haven't tried this, but I think you could technically dig into your ~/.vscode/extensions/ritwickdey.liveserver-<version>//node_modules/mime/types.json
and edit the file to add the extension you want, but you'd need to redo this every time the extension updates.
Even then, it won't be exactly the same as how files with the .html
extension in their name are served, since send
special-cases the filename index.html
. Again, if you want a different behaviour, you'll need to fork or modify your installation.
